Interaction 2011, Customer Workshop

By Emma Burgess, October 10, 2011

Each year we invite our customers to our annual customer event – Interaction, the UK Intranet Conference so they can maximise their intranet potential and connect with each other. This year the event is bigger than ever, held over two days with an exclusive pre conference workshop that takes place this Wednesday specifically for Interact Intranet customers.

Building on the Interact community that consists of our customers who collaborate on Interact Extra – our online customer extranet, this event gives customers the chance to meet face-to-face and share ideas, collaborate and strengthen relationships.

At the exclusive workshop our customers will have the unique chance to see a selection of live intranets from leading companies including American Golf, Romec, Waterstone’s, Affinity Sutton and Republic in the devoted customer exhibition area. This is an exciting and unique opportunity in the UK to see other company’s intranets in action and get helpful tips and advice from successful and thriving intranets.

They will also have the chance to gain in-depth knowledge from the presentations our panel of intranet experts will be delivering, including a focused speech of how important intranet design is with Interact VP of Business Development, Scott Hitchins. Scott will explore how the design, homepage layout and information architecture all play a role in the usage of the intranet, including how to approach the different navigational needs of your organisation, intranet branding and what makes a good homepage.

Interact Consultant, Jo Sullivan will discuss how to discover the hidden secrets in Interact Intranet, how to stimulate your users and give expert tips on how to launch key features within Interact Intranet. Wedge Black one of our resident Intranet Consultant will be analyzing how customers can get the most out of your intranet’s collaboration tools.

After the workshop there will be an exclusive awards ceremony to celebrate the intranet successes our customers have achieved, including an award for the Best Intranet. The winners will be announced on Wednesday night!
